Matt Hobbs

NewsChannel 5 Today Co-Anchor Matt Hobbs is happy to be back in the Champlain Valley, this time at the anchor desk.

He first joined WPTZ/WNNE in 2007 as Sports Anchor. He left in 2009 to take a position as Sports Director at WHAV-TV in Louisville, KY.

While there he also reported for CNN regarding tornados in Kentucky, covered the Rick Pitino extortion case, and several investigations.

Bitten by the news bug, and missing the Champlain Valley and the Northeast, in April, 2012 Matt decided to take a seat beside Courtney Kabot and Hayley LaPoint at the anchor desk of NewsChannel 5 Today.

Prior to his first stint at WPTZ/WNNE, Matt worked at WBNG-TV in Binghamton, NY and WHAM-TV in Rochester.

A native of Clifton Springs, NY, he graduated from SUNY Brockport with a BA in Broadcast Journalism.
